When I'm Gone

Chapter 3

Niall's POV

I was so glad to be home! Rachel was so happy and she never stopped smiling. She was being so nice and kind, and she was still that same old girl that was playful, beautiful, hilarious and overall perfect.

"I am BORED." Liam announced.

"Truth or dare?" I suggested.

"OH! Yay!" said Rachel.

So that was it- the game started.

I volunteered to go first, and I was about to get dirty.

"Louis- truth or dare?" I asked.

"Umm.. definetely dare." he said.

I looked around at everyone. Who should I pick on? I gazed over at Zayn, who had a cheeky smile strewn across his face. No... he needs support for now as hes just gotten amazing news. Ill give him some slack for NOW. I looked at Liam.. he was intensely playing with Danielle's hair, and she was swatting his hands back giggling. I guess I just couldn't bring myself to ruin the moment. So that left me and Harry. I looked over to Harry who looked at me with a cold expression.. strange.

I suddenly started coughing uncontrollably and my heart was pounding. I gazed over at Rachel who was panic stricken and trying to help. Before she could manage to help me, Louis pushed her back and came in and helped me out. He gave me my new Puffer and a drink. He looked so concerned and once I tool the sip of water, he began to ask,

"You okay Nialler? I was so worried! Please be okay!" he said.

I smiled.

"I am fine Loubear- dont worry." I said.

He hugged me and I hugged back, feeling his relief come into the hug.

"Okay.. sorry about that." I said.

Everyone chuckled and nodded.

"Louis. I dare you to go and.. go and.. wrestle Haz!" I said.

Louis smirked at Harry.

"Watch it Styles." he said.

"I dont wanna wrestle you. You wouldnt CHOOSE this. You dont even treat me like I am here anymore." Harry spat.

Where was this coming from?

Rachel snuggled in a little closer to me and acknowledged it and let her cuddle. I tensed around her not knowing what Harry would do.

"Haz, c'mon.. you know I love you.. Youre half of Larry!" Louis said.

"Save it! I dont need this!" he said.

"Harry..." said Liam, but Hary silenced him.

"Whats wrong?" I asked.

His fiery anger turned to a fierce glare.

Rachel pushed me a little behing her and I felt her musles tense up. She held onto my arm.

"Louis you dont talk to me anymore... you have been so preoccupied with Niall lately.. maybe it would have been better if Niall DIDNT wake up from that coma! Or Zayn's surgery gone wrong! But youre stealing my bestfriend, Horan and I am done." he exploded.

My eyes filled with tears, as Rachel looked at me and rubbed my back.

She whispered encouraging words into my ear but I needed Zayn right now.Zayn stood up, and looked at Harry with a cold expression.

Harry returned the look, And I burst into tears.

Zayn tensed up as Rachel had before.

"Harry you can wish death on me all you want. I wanna be your friend- youre a gret guy somewhere in there. Or at least you were about a week ago. But you bring Niall into this and make him cry and thats a new level of low. Niall doesnt deserve a thing- and you should be supporting him." Zayn said.

Harry piped back.

"I wont support a theif. Louis is my bestfriend and thats that."

Louis walked over to me, and I got up with Rachel and ran to my room.

I heard Zayn walk down the hall;

"Great support Harry! Just what friends are for!" with a painfully sarcastic tone.

I buried my head onto Rachel and cried.

"I-I messed everythi-thing up!" I sobbed.

Rachel took a deep breath and cupped my face in her hands.

She opened her mouth and began.

"Niall, you did nothing wrong. You are the reason I am alive today, and you are the best human being i have ever met. You dont deserve this and you havent done a thing. Harry just needs time- he will come around. But while he is still blinded by his immaturity, just know that whatever he says about you thats bad is a lie- and you are perfect. And always, ALWAYS, remember that no matter what, I love you."

I crashed my lips into hers, not very sexually just lovingly. I pulled away, and hugged her tighter than ever. It hurt, but I didnt even care.

"Rachel Jackson, you are the best human being I think that has ever walked this planet- and I mean that. You truly are the one for me." i said.

I kissed her forehead, and hugged her again.

Even though what she said helped, I couldnt get Harrys words out of my mind.

HEY! Rachel is perfect- and whatever was said is true (except shes not the one for me- i have a boyfriend lol) BUT SERIOUSLY SHE CAN MAKE MY DAY BETTER BY LOOKING AT ME! She is the best person ever and I love her so much! Follow her twitter @1DNLLHZ ! BEAUTIFUL GIRL! muah!
